Question Answered step-by-step The objective of this problem is to explore ethics issues related… The objective of this problem is to explore ethics issuesrelated to the topics we have studied in Machine Design:Fatigue, Shafts, Bolted joint, Welded joint, Springs, or anycombination of these topics.You will write a 1 or 2 papers report that encompasses one ormore of the following areas: A case study of an actual event where one or more ofthe items we studied contributed to the failure. Discussthe reason(s) for the failure in terms of what youlearned in this course (excessive stress, excessivedeformation, etc.). The discussion can includereasonable engineering-based speculation, dependingon what information is available. A discussion of the failure modes and effects on aproduct/device that uses one or more of the itemslisted above. A particular failure mode may havemultiple effects. A failure mode is a way in whichsomething may fail, or a potential cause of a failure.An effect is a consequence of a failure mode. Exampleof a failure mode and effects on an automobile wheel:Failure Mode: Over-tightening a lug nutEffects: Stripping (shear failure) of lug nut or wheelstud threads.Yielding the wheel studBreaking the wheel studFailure modes and effects may be tabulated, for clarityand reading ease. The steps you can take towards an ethical practice ofengineering, keeping in mind the topics we studied.I am somewhat open on this problem, so it is acceptable toinclude in your report other ethical dimensions of the topicswe studied in Machine Design. Further, it is acceptable toreport on components not studied in Machine Design.While you are not required to do so, feel free to check withme if you are not sure your idea(s) are suitable.There are many good resources available related to thetopic of design ethics.
